Vortex makes good optics for the price. I picked up the Diamondback HD 10x42s for $200 on sale.
Any recommendations on a lightweight, not too extensive monocular for backpacking? I was looking at the Vortex Solo 10x36 or 10x25. I'm not sure if the 25mm lenses is good enough. It's about 4 oz lighter than the 36mm version.
